How to update your software with DriverCure
In How to update your drivers with DriverCure I installed a driver via the scan results screen.
To update my software I’m going to use the scan History screen.
As the name suggests, it lists previous scan results, plus downloaded and installed drivers and software.
It also includes details of your driver and software versions, and details of the updates. Useful stuff.
Here’s how you do it…
Step 1 — Choose a previous scan
Start DriverCure and click History on the main menu.
Click the blue arrows next to the history item you want to access.
Now click on the plus symbol (+) to expend the results.
Step 2 — Choose the software to update
Once you’ve chosen what software to update, click on its Install link.
Step 3 — Confirm and download your update
You’ll now get a message asking if you’re sure you want to install the item.
Click Yes to continue.
DriverCure will now download your new software.
Step 4 — Install your new software
Once your software’s downloaded, DriverCure will open the download folder.
(The default download folder is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Downloads.)
Double click on the EXE file to start the installation.
Each program installs differently, so just follow the installer’s instructions.
Step 5 — Repeat as necessary
Unlike when you install drivers, you shouldn’t need to restart Windows.
So you can continue to update as many programs as you like.
And that’s it. Done.
